The Good Space with Francesca Phillips
The Good Space Podcast is where ambitious women come to redesign their lives from the inside out. We can’t heal inside the systems that broke us—so here, we create new rhythms, rules, and ways of living with clarity, intention, and ease.
Join host Francesca Phillips for grounded, heart-centered conversations and actionable insights on nervous system regulation, mindset, spirituality, and self-identity. Together, we’ll help you reconnect to yourself, work with your capacity—not against it—and create a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.

Why families gang up on daughters and outcast them with Stephanie A. Sellers
Family Mobbing is a phenomenon where daughters in families are estranged or shunned and singled out because they don't follow the family’s explicit or implicit rules.
Today, I am joined by Stephanie A. Sellers to discuss her book, Daughters Healing from Family Mobbing.
In 2007, Stephanie was mobbed by one side of her family. Stephanie holds a doctorate and has been on the faculty at Gettysburg College since 2000, during which time she was the inaugural director of the Women's Center from 2009 to 2015. She has been a volunteer counselor advocate in shelters and a community organizer for decades.
